Genetic variation at CYP3A is associated with age at menarche and breast cancer risk: a case-control study.
(BMC, 2014-05-26)
INTRODUCTION: We have previously shown that a tag single nucleotide polymorphism (rs10235235), which maps to the CYP3A locus (7q22.1), was associated with a reduction in premenopausal urinary estrone glucuronide levels and ...
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-04-01)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ∼9% of the familial risk of the disease. We ...
Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Analysis of Lung, Ovary, Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancer Reveals Novel Pleiotropic Associations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
Identifying genetic variants with pleiotropic associations can uncover common pathways influencing multiple cancers. We took a two-stage approach to conduct genome-wide association studies for lung, ovary, breast, prostate, ...
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed understanding of susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Here we report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis ...
High-throughput automated scoring of Ki67 in breast cancer tissue microarrays from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.
(WILEY, 2016-07-01)
Automated methods are needed to facilitate high-throughput and reproducible scoring of Ki67 and other markers in breast cancer tissue microarrays (TMAs) in large-scale studies. To address this need, we developed an automated ...
The comprehensive English National Lynch Syndrome Registry: development and description of a new genomics data resource.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Lynch Syndrome (LS) is a cancer predisposition syndrome caused by constitutional pathogenic variants in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. To date, fragmentation of clinical and genomic data has restricted ...
Brachytherapy for rhabdomyosarcoma: Survey of international clinical practice and development of guidelines.
(Elsevier BV, 2024-04-07)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to address the lack of published data on the use of brachytherapy in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma by describing current practice as starting point to develop consensus ...
Novel therapeutic approaches for pediatric diencephalic tumors: improving functional outcomes.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2023-10-10)
Pediatric diencephalic tumors represent a histopathologically and molecularly diverse group of neoplasms arising in the central part of the brain and involving eloquent structures, including the hypothalamic-pituitary axis ...
A step and shoot intensity modulated technique for total body irradiation.
(Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
INTRODUCTION: Total body irradiation (TBI) is a part of the conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplant.At the Royal Marsden (Sutton, UK) and Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen, Denmark), we introduced a step and shoot IMRT ...
Adult brain tumour research in 2024: Status, challenges and recommendations.
(WILEY, 2024-04-01)
In 2015, a groundswell of brain tumour patient, carer and charity activism compelled the UK Minister for Life Sciences to form a brain tumour research task and finish group. This resulted, in 2018, with the UK government ...
